Real Life

When Florence woke and put her teeth in she had a lovely thought: It's Coronation Street tonight isn't it?

she asked Mrs G. in the next bed.

That's right love, said Mrs G., I've been wondering ever since last week if they'll run away together.

But then Florence remembered: I shan't see it, my Tom's got the use of a van tonight and he's coming round after his tea.

Oh lovely, said Mrs G. but both of them knew what dull episodes to expect from Real Life. Connie Bensley
